New Crochet Hobbie

Last summer, my mother-in-law showed me how to crochet. She is always making baby afghans, which always intrigued me, so I finally asked her to teach me. It wasn't that hard to learn, but I made my first row way longer then it should have been, so it took me forever to finish. About 6 months actually.
When I finally did finish, I was so excited that I couldn't wait 24 hours before starting my second afghan. I went shopping for yarn, and bought a set of my own crochet needles (I borrowed the last ones from my mother-in-law). Unfortunatly, there wasn't much of a selection of baby yarn, but I made do with what I had. I found some super cute pink yarn that I couldn't walk away from. I started the moment I got home, and was done 4 days later. That has to be some kind of record.I thought I should take a little break before starting again. At least a few days anyway! Since my second afghan was pink, I think my next one will be blue, and then I'm gonna do a white one for a baby blessing. I think that should be good for a while. We'll see??

A Day of Pampering!

Every now and then it is important to take time to care for yourself. With everything that we have to do to keep our life, home, family in order, it's nice to do a little something for ourselves someday. So, this past weekend, when I went shopping, I bought an avocado oatmeal facemask. I was pretty excited about it, but didn't want to do it alone. So I dragged my amazing hubby into joining me.
It was a really fun day, and I highly recommend a day of pampering at least once a month. "Because you're worth it!"
